What is the Guide for Torch-on Roof Installation?

The provided content currently lacks a detailed step-by-step technical guide for torch-on roof installation. While the documentation mentions that torch-on roofing is a common roof type in Surrey and can be optimal for weather-exposed areas, the specific installation steps are not outlined in this resource.

However, the guide does provide a general framework for roofing projects in British Columbia that applies to all types:

  1. Conduct a thorough roof inspection to assess structural integrity.
  2. Obtain necessary building permits according to British Columbia Building Code standards.
  3. Develop a realistic budget that accounts for materials and certified labor.
  4. Ensure compliance with WorkSafeBC safety protocols, particularly fall protection when rolling out roofing membranes.
  5. Hire a licensed contractor to ensure the installation meets wind load resistance and fire rating requirements.

For flat or low-slope systems similar to torch-on, the guide notes that commercial systems like TPO or EPDM are also common in the Burnaby area.
